PDLP Chapter 252 Negotiation
Chapter 252 Negotiation
Qi Huairen brought a very important news.
Before leaving, Xiao Ran told him that although Qiao Jianhong had eliminated all of his secret agents in Beijing, he still managed to get some information.
His purpose was not to rebel.
But a bigger plot.
At this point, Qi Huairen sighed: "Xiao Ran didn't reveal the details, just told me to be careful, but now it seems that his plot includes all of us."
After hearing the news at home, Qi Huairen almost fainted. If he hadn't been worried about Mu Jinghua who was isolated and helpless at the moment, his life would probably have been lost.
Mu Jinghua called softly, "Master."
Qi Huairen smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid. We will go to negotiate later. Master will accompany you."
Mu Jinghua nodded.
Jiang Yu added: "No matter what he says, don't agree first. Just say you need to consider it. The most urgent thing is to find out Qiao Jianhong's purpose."
Mu Jinghua nodded again.
Xu Nangui also said: "When the time comes, Qiao Jianhong will definitely threaten you with the lives of Xu Shu and Qu Xiu, so you must stay calm."
"Calm down." Mu Jinghua repeated it and closed his eyes.
I couldn't help but think of the scene when he cut off Shen Lin'er's head, and replaced that face with Qiao Jianhong's words...
The doorman sent someone to urge again, saying that Qiao Jianhong had already brought people to the gate of Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Yu was still in the mood to joke after hearing this: "This time Xu Shu owes me a big favor."
Xu Nangui glanced at him, and he immediately changed his words: "No, I should repay Xu Shu for saving my life."
Seeing Mu Jinghua stand up and walk out, he also stood up quickly, but still said to Xu Nangui: "You go find A Yu, you don't have to follow me."
"obedient."
Xu Nangui glanced at Mu Jinghua, then nodded and left.
When Mu Jinghua walked through the hallway, he heard an argument coming from the door. The doorman was speaking to Qiao Jianhong in a nice tone, but Qiao Jianhong kicked open the door of Jiang Mansion without saying a word.
Jiang Yu snorted when he saw this: "General Qiao is so arrogant that he even kicked my door."
Qiao Jianhong was about to ride in on horseback, but when he heard Jiang Yu's voice, he was startled, then he got off his horse and said, "Master Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Long time no see?" Jiang Yu smiled, "Is this how you treat old friends?"
Qiao Jianhong waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to dismount, and then said: "I just came to see Mu Jinghua."
"What a coincidence." Jiang Yu also asked the doorman to retreat. "Xu Shu entrusted Mu Ge'er to me. I'm sorry that I, as an old friend, can't hand him over to you directly."
Qiao Jianhong ignored him and just looked at Mu Jinghua: "Xu Shu and Qu Xiu are both in my hands, Mu brother, do you want to talk?"
Mu Jinghua looked at him coldly and couldn't help but wonder in his heart if he took out the gun from his sleeve now, could he kill him with one shot.
He was almost buried by hatred, but he also knew that even if he killed Qiao Jianhong, he could not guarantee that Xu Shu and his senior brother would be safe.
Maybe Qiao Jianhong had already issued some death order, that if he didn't go back, Xu Shu would be killed or something like that.
He forced himself to calm down and said in a cold voice: "Speak."
Qiao Jianhong was thinking of making a joke again: "How long have we not seen each other? Why are you so distant to me?"
These words were so disgusting that Mu Jinghua almost couldn't help but rush up and strangle him to death.
But he knew very well that he couldn't. In the midst of the contradiction, he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but chuckle: "You are deliberately provoking me."
Qiao Jianhong shrugged: "Smart."
He asked again: "Did I succeed?"
Mu Jinghua closed his eyes: "What do you think?"
"Of course I succeeded." Qiao Jianhong curled his lips, "But I think you are not the kind of fool who will be swayed by emotions."
Mu Jinghua didn't comment and just looked at him.
Qiao Jianhong also admitted that he was bored, and finally got down to business: "My request is very simple, you come back to Shangjing with me."
Mu Jinghua was stunned at first, but then he understood everything. After all, he was also listening to Qiao Wan's story at that time.
"You want me to marry Emperor Jing Zhao and help you gain power?"
Qiao Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud: "Mu Jinghua, you are really smart."
"Maybe it wasn't a mistake not to stop you from being born."
When Qi Huairen heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. He quickly glanced at Mu Jinghua, then quickly lowered his eyes.
Jiang Yu, however, heard something different: "You want a little brother to help you gain power. Why are you going backwards as you grow older?"
Qiao Jianhong was silent for a moment, and said to himself: "Many times, you are completely unable to resist the torrent of fate."
Mu Jinghua was a little anxious: "How is Xu Shu now? And my senior brother, what did you do to them?"
Qiao Jianhong looked up and said, "Originally, I should have brought Xu Shu here to show you, but he was too powerful. Even with the help of Qiao Wan's strength, I couldn't kill him. So I could only cut the tendons of his hands and feet to make him more obedient."
Seeing Mu Jinghua's sinister expression, he smiled softly and said, "Your senior brother doesn't have to be like this. I just tied him up and locked him up with Xu Shu."
"Don't worry. Even though your senior brother is a bit half-baked, he is still a medical student. With him around, Xu Shu will at least not die."
"As for his broken tendons in his arms and legs, Chao Lin can sew them up for him within seven days."
"Mu Jinghua, you are a smart person. You only have seven days."
Jiang Yu frowned: "You are still as despicable as ever."
When Qiao Jianhong heard him teasing like this, he just smiled and admitted it: "People can't be born mean. You just don't know me from the past."
"I heard that you dote on a little boy. If he died in front of you, would you be as despicable and shameless as me and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals?"
"You don't have to argue." Jiang Yu glanced at Mu Jinghua, "Brother Mu, ask him about his conditions."
Mu Jinghua nodded, and Qiao Jianhong said, "As long as you come back to Shangjing with me and enter the palace to become Emperor Jingzhao's concubine, you are very beautiful, and he will definitely fall in love with you."
"Then, the entire Jing Dynasty will fall in love with you."
"I just need you to issue an order to reduce the number of vassal states, and all those prosperous families will be included, one by one, and no one will be able to escape."
"You want to go against the entire family?" Jiang Yu was the first to react. He didn't even care about etiquette. He just pulled Mu Jinghua's sleeve and said anxiously, "Mu Ge'er, you can't agree to him."
Mu Jinghua didn't quite understand the ins and outs of this, but Qiao Jianhong interrupted Jiang Yu: "He is a member of a noble family, so of course he would advise you to give up."
"But think about Xu Shu. Xu Shu is still bleeding and waiting for you."
"With your intelligence and my help outside the palace, it would be easy to gain the favor of Emperor Jing Zhao. It's just a matter of issuing an order."
"I have an army of 800,000 men at my command. I will surely win in one fell swoop and tear down this rotten building."
"Brother Mu, you don't understand the actual situation. Even if the noble families unite, it's not that easy to deal with even if you have an army of 800,000."
"If there is a war, there will be great loss of life."
On one side was Qiao Jianhong, and on the other was Jiang Yu. Mu Jinghua listened to the two of them struggling and chattering, and suddenly couldn't help but said, "Shut up."
